Hmm its been preoccupying my mind - should i get a lomo for my upcoming trip to the Euros?
on one hand i know i can get achingly beautiful/arty/nostalgic photos from the amazingly contrasty and vignetted lomo minotar lens.. but is it worth the cost?
available 2nd hand in singapore for about 300 sgd. i guess i could buy and sell (rent) one for the short term. other considerations include experience with the concept and cost of film/processing.
i guess the experience bit shouldn't be too hard to overcome - search lomography for their manifesto!
still... a return to film will take some effort to pry myself away from my spoilt-rotten "instant view" flexibilities of my present photog equipment.
follow the link to a REAL lomo album. cross processing looks so enticing!

do the lomo! and leave the standard touristy point-and-shooting to me. :)
hehe. are you doubting my capacity to do both? *grin*
but yeah - bit of good news!
i managed to get hold of a non-functioning lomo - going to rip out the lens and mount it on my d200. wonder if it works?
hmmmmm. the images might still come out too polished - but at least i wouldn't have to worry about the lens effects.
